Abstract

The changing concepts of the quality of life which growing sections of our society are now holding demand that economic and industrial undertakings should also pay due regard to ecological interest. This metamorphosis in our scale of values is leading to a reassessment of the palette of political instruments available. An economic model has been developed to enable the importance of ecological considerations entailed in steps adopted in connection with farmland consolidation schemes to be measured against the expected effects of a concrete structural development project.
